Project recruitment breakdown

Our client is a fast-growing company based in London, with additional offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and they are actively working to expand across the UK and Asia.

Having built a strong relationship with them through successful previous placements, the expert finance recruitment team at deverellsmith was their first choice when they needed to fill a key position. After a team member's departure, they turned to Okem to help find the ideal candidate.

The role required a swift hire, with a focus on finding someone experienced, adaptable, and open to internal training. Equally important was ensuring the new hire was a strong cultural fit, and capable of contributing positively to the team.

Recruitment project solutions

Talent mapping: Okem employed a strategic combination of online and offline candidate platforms to map the talent landscape and identify top-tier candidates for the role. This approach allowed him to perform a comprehensive market analysis, zeroing in on individuals with the ideal skills and experience. He didn't limit his search to active job seekers but also reached out to passive candidates who could be a strong match for the position. Through this focused outreach, Okem successfully uncovered high-calibre talent that aligned perfectly with the client's requirements.

Consultative approach: Okem met with our partner to gain a clear understanding of the company's culture and the specific candidate profile they were seeking. He also personally met with each candidate before adding them to the shortlist, holding initial discussions to explain the role and assess their fit for our partner's requirements.
